Johannesburg - No arrests have been made following the murder of a Lenasia community leader, Gauteng police said on Tuesday.
"The investigation is still ongoing," Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela said. Molana Iqbal Hassan, the imam [priest] of the Masjid Siddique, a mosque in Lenasia Extension 10, was stabbed to death by robbers who broke into his house on Sunday.
Makhubela said the four robbers placed Hassan, his wife and their children in separate rooms.
"They demanded money and other things. They stabbed the man in the head and took some of the electrical appliances from the house."
The other members of the family were not injured.
